Bloomfield Fürst Love Song - A Concentrated Pedigree of Europe's Best Bloodlines

Fürst Love Song boasts the who’s who of modern dressage, with a star-studded line of Sir Donnerhall, Fürst Heinrich, Sandro Hit, Donnerhall, Rubinstein and Davignon. Fürst Love Song is elegant and refined with free-moving paces and natural ability, paired with an amazing temperament – all these traits shine through in his progeny.

Bloomfield Furst Love Song (Australian Warmblood, ACE Registered) is a modern young stallion, line bred to bring to the fore the combined best dressage bloodlines in the world. His pedigree is full of top stallions, top dam lines, World Champions and Olympic competitor and medal producers.

Bloomfield Fürst Love Song features Donnerhall strength (twice in the fourth generation and once in the fifth), including the successful Pik Bube/Donnerhall cross in the stallion Davignon I. There is a double cross of Sandro Hit in the 3rd generation dam and sire line, Pik Bube once each in the 5th and 6th generations and Ramiro Z and Romadour II who both present double crosses in the sixth generation.

Bloomfield Love Furst Song is ideally outcrossed in the next generation, and for this he is well suited for the warmblood, thoroughbred and anglo-arabian mare base developed in New Zealand. He will also cross well with many Trakehner and KWPN lines.

A good example can be seen with the pedigree of the stallion Furst William by the Gestut Sprehe stallion Furst Wilhem who is very similarly bred, also being by Furst Heinrich out of a Sandro Hit/ Love Story mare line cross.
